"Lipstick Lesbians," I believe they are also called.

Actually, a lipstick lesbian is what lesbians call a femme (as opposed to a butch).

Lipstick lesbians still (let's see if I remember the rhetoric from college) subscribe to the patriarchal notions of beauty that they learned in our male oppressor society.

I actually know a lipstick lesbian couple here in Nashville quite well. They are both gorgeous and actually like men to a degree...they just like womyn a whole lot more. I've known one of them (she's 34 now) since she was in grade school.

They do have some serious catfights though...usually over jealousy or hints of infidelity. They like me more than my wife oddly. I think Sapphos find beautiful hetero gals that are also mommies threatening in a way. The reverse is true with homo-guys.....they absolutely love the company of beautiful gals. Dykey Lesbos on the other hand don't care for us third leggers at all...in my experience.

Needless to say I don't discuss politics with any of them. I was banned from an artsy fartsy Christmas party here in Nashville which usually has a fair number of gays in attendance because I'm viewed as a right wing gun freak.

Oh well. Gays are a weird study you know....I even know a few...one does my wife's "highlights" for her hair...and he's a staunch Pubbie.
